Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.212(a)(3)(ii): Point of operation guards were not designed and constructed as to prevent the operator from having any part of their body in the danger zone during the operating cycle: (a) Harrisville Plant: On or about November 10, 2019 an Urban Welder (Equipment Number PE-WELD0062) was not equipped with a method of machine guarding that would prevent the operator from passing completely through the machine's protective light curtain and allow the machine's parts to automatically move while the operator is still in the hazard zone. (b) Pennsboro Plant: On or about November 10, 2019 an Urban Welder (Equipment Number PE-WELD0084) was not equipped with a method of machine guarding that would prevent the operator from passing completely through the machine's protective light curtain and allow the machine's parts to automatically move while the operator is still in the hazard zone. (c) Pennsboro Plant: On or about November 10, 2019 an Urban Welder (Equipment Number PE-WELD0068) was not equipped with a method of machine guarding that would prevent the operator from passing completely through the machine's protective light curtain and allow the machine's parts to automatically move while the operator is still in the hazard zone. ABATEMENT NOTE: One feasible and acceptable method of abatement would be to follow American National Standards Institute (ANSI) B11.19-2010 Performance Criteria for Safeguarding, section 6.8.4.1(c) which states that when using PSDI (Presence Sensing Device Initiation) it shall not be possible for an individual to enter, pass through, and become clear of the presence-sensing device sensing field.
